Description: Medical scans can produce thousands of images for a single patient in seconds, but how do doctors know what's useful? Scientific visualization expert Anders Ynnerman shows us sophisticated new tools -- like virtual autopsies -- for analyzing our data, and hints at the sci-fi-sounding medical technologies coming up next. This talk contains some graphic medical imagery.

Visualizing the medical data explosion

The leap from 100 medical images to 1 terabyte of data per patient revolutionizes diagnostics but demands novel analysis methods.

Virtual autopsies offer a digital alternative to traditional methods, enhancing forensic investigations with precise, non-invasive analysis.

From CT scans generating 100 images to machines now producing 20GB per scan, the challenge of medical data management escalates.
